Icebergs are classified by their shape. Tabular icebergs have steep sides and a flat top like a plateau, while non-tabular ones are more likely to have irregular rounded tops, spires, and sloping sides.

Most icebergs are white in color, but some may appear blue or even green.

Ice is full of tiny air bubbles that scatter all colour wavelengths the same amount, giving the ice a white appearance.

If the ice is compressed, the bubbles are squeezed out and the blue light is scattered much more than other colours – making the ice appear blue.
